Chapter 558
“Why are you saying my name like that?”
Bella looked at the embarrassed man with a chilling gaze and said.
peevishly, “Don’t you find it nauseating? I do.”
“I just don’t want to feel like a stranger to you.” Justin’s heart
dropped. He had no idea why she was mad again.
Words of endearment were not his forte. He was a decisive and
eloquent president on the business front but tongue-tied in the
presence of his beloved woman.
“Please don’t use the tone you used with Rosalind on me. It’s an
insult that you put me on the same level as her.” Bella’s eyes were
biting.
Justin pressed his dry lips together and felt his throat itch.
The hurt he imparted her with had never disappeared. In fact, the cut was as deep as the day they
divorced.
Bella would get hung up on anything that reminded her of the past.

It never crossed her mind to forgive him. Maybe she commanded herself not to forget the humiliating
past. That very reason kept them rooted in place, unable to take the first step toward a new chapter.
“I didn’t mean to lump you in the same group as her, Bella. I just Justin explained desperately.
“Enough.”
Bella opened the door and interrupted him from finishing. “Don’t read
into it. I told you to come over because I know you well. You will never leave Roza’s workplace until I let
you do what you want to. I just don’t
want to give Roza any problems.”
Justin stared at Bella’s back dejectedly.
She only brought Justin to the studio because she was pressed for
time. Celeste’s birthday was around the corner, and the operation of
the hotel business took up most of her days. Bella only had time in the evenings to make the dress at
Roza’s studio.
Bella grabbed a hair tie on the table and secured her hair into a bun.
Justin looked at her tenderly, his fingers twitching.
He was tempted to run his fingers along her thick, black hair.
Justin remembered sharing a bed with her when they first got married. Bella was not the type to stay
still in her sleep, and her hair would spread to his side of the bed. Not wanting her hair to get caught
under him, Justin had once carefully tamed the loose strands
together.
The man felt a lump in his throat as his eyes welled up.
At the time, Bella slept by his side and was within his reach. Now, he had no right to even be close to
her.
“Hey.”
Bella had a pin between her lips while sewing embellishments onto the gown. “Have you been keeping
well?”
“I’ve been well,” Justin responded with a hoarse voice.
“I see.”
Without stopping the task at hand, she looked up at the dazed man.
Didn’t you say that you wanted a moment with me? What’s on your
mind?”
Justin was lost for words.
“Ha? Cat got your tongue? You better not lie to me about having
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomething to say.”
The man’s breath hitched. He knew that he would be kicked out if he
did not start talking. “I wanted to ask Ms. Walker about a person.”
“Who?”
“Sharon.”

Bella’s face was emotionless, but her fingers trembled. “Sharon? The internationally renowned fashion
designer? Why do you want to ask
about her?”
“I need her help to design an outfit,” Justin said earnestly.
“She’s busy. Just forget it.” With downcast eyes, Bella scoffed to
herself.
The bastard wanted Alexa to design a jewelry piece for him, and now he wanted Sharon to design him
an outfit.
Did he seriously think the world revolves around him?
